OAKLAND -- A 42-year-old man was hospitalized after he was shot early Tuesday inside a friend's apartment in East Oakland, police said.

The shooting happened about 4:15 a.m. in the 4500 block of San Carlos Avenue, several blocks from Fremont High School.

The man was in his friend's second-floor apartment when he heard something outside in the rear. When he went to investigate, someone started shooting at him, with a bullet going through a sliding-glass door and hitting him in the shoulder, police said. The friend was not injured.
